    • Paid £150 into ISA, first investment scheduled for next Monday
    • Money into pots
    • KitchenAid at £105+
    • 2 DVDs sold
    • Offers on 2 DVDs, both are lowballs and will be receiving counter offers ;)
    • Made £6.53 from a free slot machine promo (matched betting style risk free offer)

    Today I need to go to lots of meetings, get padded envelopes from £land for DVDs, go running and get over my dislike of the Post Office :)

    Work still dragging their heels over my underpaid pension, as it's nearly 6 months I probably need to give real thought to raising a grievance :(

    P.s will need to arrange a wee meet up for coffee or lunch someday, seeing as how we live kinda close :)

    edited to add: obviously this will be a coffee brought from a flask carried with me :)

    Always best to do a few " dry " runs first thistle ... That way if it still scared you, you can leave and won't have risked any money :)

    The potential for loss is far lower than you'd think if you double check your steps.

    I've made c. £1200? and lost less than £50 (most of which was unrealised potential wins, not actual losses of my money) :)

    Sold another DVD, rattled through a lot of tasks so probably time to cheekily wrap some :o
